Upcycling the Unseen Harvest
In order to help solve the food system’s most complex environmental challenge, we’re turning overlooked produce into an opportunity.
In California’s Central Valley, food loss runs rampant. But we’re here to tackle it—benefitting both the environment and the supply chain.
We transform discarded goods into high-quality ingredients used in a wide range of industries, from food to pharmaceutical. Our top-notch team uses cutting-edge machinery, bringing this proven technology to the US for the first time. We provide unprecedented access to value-add output at market-leading prices—extracting the full value of America’s unseen harvest.
What We Offer
Here’s What We Gain From Revamping the Rejects
We extract juice (NFC), concentrates, purées, peel oils, and water phase aromas from discards—turning waste into versatile products. We’ve got it all, offering products to a variety of specifications including, regular, organic, low pulp and conventional, tailor-made upon request.
Citrus
Our upcycled citrus products are full of flavor and vitamin C—made so that your products can showcase the balance between sweet and sour.
Stone Fruit
Flavors that taste like warm weather, year-round. At Sierra Agra USA, that’s what “out-graded” peaches, plums, pluots, apricots, and nectarines are. With our stone-fruit resources, your products are sure to be tart, sweet, and, of course, delicious.
Celery
We know that celery isn’t the most popular plant. But we’re here to change that. From the seeds to the stalk to the leaves, we don’t let any celery go to waste. Enhance your products with celery’s one-of-a-kind earthy flavor and health benefits.
Peel Oil
We make peel oil by heating and compressing a raw fruit’s peel—transforming forgotten resources in an instant. Peel oil’s flavors and aromas add dimension to any product, from foods and beverages to cosmetics, cleaning items, and nutraceuticals.
Vegetables
Discarded vegetables may seem like an eye sore—but to us, they’re full of potential. These nutrient-rich rejects are the perfect ingredients for your next value-add product.
Water Phase Aroma
Our tailor-made technology can capture the essence of any piece of produce. From edible emulsions to refreshing fragrances, water phase aroma is always in high demand—especially in the production of enhanced sparkling water.
“Sierra Agra USA’s transformative approach to converting imperfect produce into premium products is a game-changer for creating an impact economy.”
